Springtime Hat

This hat uses a simple leaf design. The pattern begins with a few increase rows to give the hat an interesting wavy brim. If you are using one skein of di've Teseo make sure to keep track of your gauge as I ended up with very little yarn left over.

yo: Yarn over
ssk: slip two stitches one at a time knitwise, place back on the left hand needle and knit them together.

Repeat rows 11-24 once more.
*note* This hat is meant to be pretty short. If you want to make it longer, repeat rows 11-25 once then rows 11-24 again (you will need more yarn... er... I suppose that's obvious though, huh?)

Decrease rows:
Row 1 (right side): k1 (ssk, k3, k2tog, k1) k1 [62 stitches]
Row 3: k1 (ssk, k1, k2tog, k1) k1 [42 stitches]
Row 5: k1 (k3tog, k1) k1 [22 stitches]
Row 7: k2tog across [11 stitches]
Row 9: k2tog 5 times, k1 [6 stitches]

Break yarn leaving a long tail. Sew through the remaining 6 stitches then sew up the side of the hat.
